Re: Rachel, James, John Sale marry NC Grays

The youngest child of Richard Walker by his second wife, Disa Howard, was Marcus Walker b. 1857-d. 1940 (83yrs old), a Baptist preacher in Wilkes County, and the grandfather of my Husband.In 1938 he wrote a brief autobiography and stated: "Richard Walker, my father, married twice.His first wife was a Miss Sale, to which was borne ten children". (I found in Wilkes marriages the following: Richard Walker and Sina Sale married March 4, 1820. Witness ? Mathis and W. W. Martin.He further stated: "After his death he married Disa Howard ---to this union, nine children were borne, making a total of 19 children.I being the yougest of the entire family.Two boys of the first family and one of the last died in the war between the states".I have been told a lot of the members of this family 'moved west'.Rickey
